I use older equipment in everything. I always used slightly outdated computers which are maxed out with ram, etc. So this is good advice, save money - save time, and upgrade later if need be. Purchasing recording studio gear is a very fast way to go broke especially in this era we are in.
Absolutely. I do love having a fairly recent computer but I know of many people who are still going strong on some older Macs. I suppose it’s even more important to make sure you get the right specs the first time.
This is a really refreshing take to hear. There is so much amazing older/outdated gear out there that it's honestly really hard for me to justify buying anything brand new. Really enjoyed this and your other videos!
Thanks so much! Yeah, this video really came from something I’ve had to come to terms with the last couple of years and I’m glad others are able to take something away from it as well.
Well said. I love buying old tech and music gear. I recently got an old windows XP computer and one of the earliest audio interfaces to see what early computer music production was like. I've also gotten into old Peavey amps, while they were still being made in the USA.
I buy everything used and have saved thousands already on my computer and all of my equipment. I have a killer set up way out of my price range thanks to buying used gear, totally agree with your points
@@calebitilley yes sir! Guitar center app is so fun to browse, 45 day returns if something isn’t working right, or pay extra for a 1-3 year full warranty! Great way to try different gear
Used gear from trusty brands is always the way to go. I hope Audient get the same reputation as RME and Motu, drivers updated almost forever and for every old piece as the new ones. If I knew Focusrite would abandon us like that I would have gone Motu in the past. I'll probably get an EVO 16 in the future and use my two Saffire PRO 40's as ADAT extensions only for 24 channels total.

So true! I am using the same audient iD22, for many years, and I still believe that it is greatly worth even now, in 2024. Good video :)
Thank you! Yeah, the iD22 sounds great and is super sturdy for what I paid for it. It's cool what you can find on the used market.

Very cool! I think that sort of stuff brings a new perspective as well. Thanks for sharing.

Same here! I love new gear too, but there's so much value in what you can get used. Thanks for sharing!
Analog gear and used gear in general is plummeting in prices…but not in value!
Great point! Some cool finds out there.

I 100% agree. I always buy used. If you are picky and get good pieces they will last and give great results.
For sure! Research is really important. I have had a couple of regrets but it all came down to my excitement for how good of a deal I found. Haha

That would be a killer setup for sure. I’ve had a great experience with my iD22. Lots of great options out there
If it works, don't fix it or don't buy it I get that!
fantastic video. subscribed. :]
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
